Another approach to dealing with Rev. Phelps’ hate-mongers

I found this account of how a high school in Maryland dealt with a vigil by Rev. Phelps’ group of hate-filled looneys, the same ones who came to Albany recently. Click here for an article describing how Whitman High School addressed the visit of the Phelps hate-mongers. (By the way, they went to this high school to protest that it is named for Walt Whitman, the great poet who was gay.) I am impressed by the way the school weaved these issues into the curriculum and encouraged students and faculty to be part of the counter-protest.
